Latest Ribbon Device album news
The latest Ribbon Device album "The Soft Pedal" is nearly finished!
Its been a long recording process this time around and a lot care has been taken in the songwriting and production. 5 years in total which is not something Im proud of, there were just a lot unexpected adventures along the way. Most of the album has been recorded by myself which was not something I intentionally set out to do, but shortly after the release of my last album "Saturation Day" everyone got busy doing their own projects and we all went our separate ways. Although the incredibly talented Mim is still playing bass & mixing a few tracks. Bar came in and blew some horn, while new comer Joel laid down a couple drum tracks.
Currently Im in the mixing stages, knee deep in reel to reels & plenty of outboard gear. I hope to get a second pair of ears into help me out but Im so used to the DIY approach these days that I don't like to sit around and wait. The album art work is being done by the amazingly talented Shane Van Den Akker, who is currently in hospital due to his diabetes. Nonetheless Shane has reassured me that all things are going to plan & I have no doubt in his abilities to pull it off. The pages I have so far look amazing! Here is one of the illustrations for the song "Surrender"
The album will be released independently through my label Nincompoop Records & available through www.theribbondevice.com, CD Baby, & itunes. I will be keeping up regular weekly blogs so that nothing falls through the cracks. cheers Mat

This is a very sobering video. Watch it if you dare. You have to ask yourself "What on earth would I have done had this happened to me? "
